Spent the last week replacing the exhaust on my 86 2wd.  After much nagging
of the list I decided to go with the OEM setup.  Everything went pretty
smooth even for a hack like me.  Yesterday I started it up and oh my
god.....It is so quiet!  I wonder just how leaky that old exhaust was?  I
mean this thing is night and day.  When I get home from work today I'm going
to drive the beast around the block a little bit and get her up to temp.
Some tune up crap and a look at my fuel lines and I'm ready to roll  unless
the inspection man hassles me.

Now the exhaust I removed, the muffler/tail pipe is shot but the header
could be cleaned up and any offending cracks welded, am I nuts?  Should I
just put the whole thing out for the junk man?  Anybody want a header system
for free in PA?
